Store aisles with school supplies are jammed. Late weeknightbedtimes return toreasonable hours, and parents, too, adjust to new schedules and responsibilities. It's an annual rite of late summer.

Fate of long-running series remains uncertain

By BILL ROZAK The Union Democrat

One of the longest high school football rivalries in the state will continue tonight, but the future of the series is uncertain.

The 98th meeting between the Sonora Wildcats and Oakdale Mustangs will be played at 7 p.m. in Oakdale.

The teams traditionally met in the final week of the regular season and many times the Valley Oak League championship hinged on that result.

But Sonora moved into the Mother Lode League for all sports in 2014, and the shine on the se-

ries was diminished.

"It's lost its edge," said Wildcat head coach Bryan Craig at practice this week. "Last year I thought it wouldn't matter, the zero week, it was still Oakdale.

But it's lost its edge. You can feel it this week. We' re preparing for a preseasongame to get better, and trying to get a W. But it just doesn't feel like Oakdale."

The series started strong and with a lot of enthusiasm. Both

teams had a large following and with the teams in close proximity, the field was always packed with spectators.

After the first two games, both played in 1922, a Sonora win and tie,itwas already considered the Wildcats' "Annual Big Game" by thenhead coach "Andy" McGrath.

After the third game played in 1923, Oakdale's first win in the series, it became a rivalry.

Sonora High School staff arrived on campusThursday morning to fi nd flickering lights throughout half of the school.

By 7 a.m. the power was out, killing lights, Internet and air conditioners.

The school day was cut short, and teachers devised makeshift activities in darkened rooms.

As wildfires plague much of the American West, one must ask, Who is paying to put them out? The answer is largely the American taxpayer. By that, we mean the taxpayers ofMaryland, Tennessee and New Jerseyas well as those in California, Oregon, Washington and Montana, the states where the worst fires now rage.

Given this reality, we can also wonder at Western conservatives'passion for transferring federal lands to the states or into private hands. Do they really want the costof protecting this considerable acreage placed on the shoulders of their locals?

Some Western politicians, such as Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, have thought this through. His state owns 5.2 million acres — the size of Massachusetts — and a good part of it is in fiames.

"I could spend $40 million on fires alone," Bullock, a Democrat, recently told me.

Western conservatives should know that other conservatives are asking why U.S. taxpayers are spending so darn much money putting out their fires. And they are joined by environmentalists, who argue that the federal government's enthusiasm for suppressing wildfires encourages bad land planning and unnecessary tree removal.

About two-thirds of the cost of fighting wildfires comes out of the federal coffers, and the U.S. Forest Service accounts for the lion's share. Its fire suppression actives include both firefighting and fire prevention. For the first time this year, the Forest Service will devote over half its budget to wildfire suppression. By 2025, large wildfires could consume two-thirds of that budget, according to a new report by the Department of Agriculture, which oversees the agency.

A warming climate is adding size and intensity to the blazes — making them more expensive to put out.

And there's a stiff human price: Three Forest Service firefighters died recently trying to contain a wildfire in north-central Washington.

But much of the Forest Service's fattening bill for suppressingwildfirescomes from the rising costsofprotecting isolated residences in the so-called wildland-urban interface.

About 10 million houses were been built in fire-prone rural areas last decade — on top of 6 million in the 1990s.

The building continues apace because of a growing desire for homes with nice views and proximity to national forests. And because the feds deal with the worst fires, the state and local governments approving this development have little incentive to curb it.

The federal government also has a variety of post-fire rehab programs. One helps rebuild the homes, 75 percent of which are uninsured or underinsured.

"Many say the insurance companies should be creating a moral hazard when they insure homes on the interface," Sue Stewart, a scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who was formerly with the Forest Service, told me. Homeowners in fire-prone zones should bear the costs of the added risk, not unlike those on fiood plains.

Local governments can also assume more responsibility, writes Randal O' Toole at the conservative Cato Institute. One suggestion is "turning firefighting over to the states and paying the states the same fixed annual amounts per acre that private forest landowners pay."

O' Toole speaks approvingly of the federal Bureau of Land Management's policy of letting enormous wildfires in Alaska burn largely unattended.

In Berkeley, California, meanwhile, angry environmentalists are protesting a plan to lessen fire hazards by leveling over 400,000 eucalyptuses and other trees in the East Bay hills. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has offered to write the check.

In assessingfederal fire suppression programs, one must distinguish between mindless budget cutting and thoughtless spending. As we can see, not always an easy call.

GUEST COLUMN

remin ert ata The murder of two journalists near Roanoke, Va., this week is another horrifying chapter in what is becoming a story of rekindled racial animus in this nation.

That it took place so close to the anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s inspiring "I Have a Dream" speech on August 28 is a reminder that we have retreated from that Promised Land where we would, in King's words, "be abletotransform thejangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood."

Vester Lee Flanagan II, the man who murdered Alison Parker, a 24-year-old reporter, and her 27-year-old cameraman on live TV and then killed himself, left no doubt about his motives. In a display of sadistic narcissism, Flanagan filmed the killing and then posted it on social media and left a record of racist diatribes.

He claimed in a rambling rant faxed to ABC News two hours after the shooting, "What sent me over the top was the church shooting," in Charleston, S.C., in June, in which a white racist massacred nine African-Americans. Flanagan purchased a gun two days later and began planning his revenge, including, according to his tirade, carving the initials of the dead blacks into the bullets intended for his white victims. An eye for an eye.

The killings in Charleston shocked the nation. How could it be, we asked ourselves, that racism can still wreak such carnage when we have come so far in achieving an end to the pervasive discrimination and racial hatred that once infected so much of the nation?

The deaths of these innocent black men

and women in a church meeting hall in 2015 consumed the media, pushed the South Carolina legislature to vote overwhelmingly to remove the Confederate battle fiag from the Capitol grounds, and sparked much soul-searching among the American people.

It is doubtful that the racial motivation in Flanagan's evil deeds will provoke a similar response. There is no national blackleader today of the same stature and moral fortitude to warn as King did in 1968:"In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds.

Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred."

When Dylann Roof gunned down parishioners at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, he did so, he later told police, in the hopes of igniting a race war. That grandiose and disgusting fantasy will not likely play out, but all murders and other attacks fueled by racial hatred should nonetheless worry us, whether white-on-black or black-onwhite or any other combination of interethnic violence thus motivated.

We are used to hearing of the dangers of white racism, and unfortunately, we receive reminders all too frequently that it still exists, even if less widespread and less common than in the past. I am not

shame and concern. These acts deserve attention, and we should not shrug them oK But neither should we ignore the implications when members of racial or ethnic groups commit similar racist acts.

Racism — no matter the color of the perpetrator — is vile. We have come a very long way in ending formal racial, ethnic and sex discrimination, but it seems we have a way to go in achieving King's dream: "that day when all of God' s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free atlast!"

King spoke those words to all Americans. They were intended not just for civil rights activists, but also for the followers of Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X, his black contemporaries who eschewed nonviolence in favor of fomenting racial hatred, as well as supporters of white racists like Bull Connor and George Wallace. Where is the voice in today's African-American community who will proclaim the message that All Lives Matter and none should be cut short as a matterofracialanimus orrevenge?

Exec order to help wildfire recovery SACRAMENTO — Gov. Jerry Brown has released emergency recovery funding for major wildfires in central and northern California.

The governor issued an executive order on Thursday to help residents and business owners in Trinity and Lake counties with recovery funding.

The move speeds up the removal of hazardous debris from the area, and it waives fees toreplace lost essential documents like driver's licenses and birth certificates.

Brown had already declared astate of emergency to release special firefighting funding shortly after the blazes broke out late last month.

The largestof the blazes, the so-called Rough Fire, has consumed nearly 90 square miles and is 25 percent contained. A previous nearby blaze destroyed 47 homes.

Bison attacks man on Catalina Island AVALON — The head of a conservation group has been

gored by a bison on Santa Catalina Island, off the Southern California coast.

Forty-three-year-old Chris Baker was airliSed to a hospital Wednesday after the attack near the Two Harbors area.

Baker is president and CEO of the American Conservation Experience.

The Flagstaff, Arizonabased group says Baker was doing fi eld work for a new trail system when he turned a corner and found the bison in front of him.

The group says the animal charged Baker. He then walked a quarter-mile on a hiking path until he saw three off-duty f i r e f i ghter, who called 911. Baker is re-

That's more than a percentage point greater than the initial 2.3 percent estimate and a sharp upgrade from the anemic 0.6 percent advance during the January-March quarter.

President Barack Obama took note of the good GDP report, saying it showed America remains "an anchor of global strength and stability" with an economic recovery that has been faster and stronger than most other nations.

Trump's campaign team is small NEWARK, N.J.— Not only is Donald Trump an uncon-

ventional candidate, he's got a campaign operation that turns the conventional wisdom of electoral politics on its head.

While Democratic front runner H i l lary R o dham Clinton boasts an army of more than 350 paid staffers, Trump's operation fields less than a tenth that number.

It includes a coterieof about a dozen paid staffers operating out of the campaignheadquarters atTrump Tower on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue — the same building where Trump lives and runs his real estate empire.

His team has no pollster, fundraisersor media consultant and only announced its first fulltime, big-name policy adviser this week.

The rest of the 25 or so paid members of the Trump campaign are mostly in the early- voting states of New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina, states where the billionaire businessman-turnedreality TV host is ahead in polls, leaving the Republican establishment scratching its head.

Three games into the 97-game rivalry, theWildcats'losswascompared to some ofthe biggest battles and disasters in history.

The rivalry was stoked as each team pulled their fair share of pranks.

The most common, teams would deface each other's field by burning their school initials, among other things, in the grass. Should that happen now, the expensive turf teams have covering their fields, burning anything into the field would become a felony.

There were stories in the early days ofthe series about team buses becoming a shield of sorts, defiecting rocks being thrown as they rolled out of town win or lose.

It wasn't always a &iendly, respectful series that it has grown into today.

Through 1964, the series was evenly matched with Oakdale holding a slim23-19-1seriesadvantage.

But since, Oakdale has pulled away to lead the series 61-31-5, including 17 wins in the last 19 meetings and nine in a row. Sonora hasn't scored more than 23 points against Oakdale since 1995, the season the Wildcats won their lone Sac-Joaquin Section championship. The last time Sonora was even in the series was 1942 (10-10-1).

The only time the Wildcats held the series lead was in 1926 (2-1-1).

Bedford and his assistant, Dana Gross, called Dr. Richard Leo to testify Thursday afternoon. Leo, a professor of law and psychology at the University of San Francisco, holds a bachelor's and master' s degree in sociology, a law degree and a PhD &om University of California, Berkeley, in law and social science psychology.

Leo testified that he has taught multiple courses on police interrogations and falseconfessions. He said an interview becomes an interrogation when police investigators start accus-

ing a suspect of committing a crime and attacking their denials.

Investigators are trained to interrogate with thegoal of producing a confession, he said. They have many tactics toincreasepressure, such as attacking a suspect's denial, raising their voice,leaning forward, or producingtrue orfalseevidence — all with the goal of producing a confession.

Leo said these methods are not designed to elicit falseconfessions.

Two main types of riskfactorscontribute to false confessions following interrogation, include personality traits and interrogation methods, he said.

Those who suffer &om mental illness, low IQs, juveniles, or who have weak personality types all are more likely to give a false confession, he said.

There are certain things that can happen during an interrogation that can producea false confession.

The length of a interrogation, for one. Any interrogation lasting longer than two hours can be considered lengthy.

Lucero's interrogation, which was videotaped and shown in court, lasted four

hours.

On cross-examination Thursday, p r o secutors asked Leo how long it had been since he sat in on a live police interrogation.

Twenty-two years, he said.

Leo also said he never sat in on a police interrogation with the specific intent ofobservingorclassifying a falseconfession.

Leo said there are four ways to disprove a false confession completely: by proving no crime has ocp roving it w a s physically impossible for the suspect to commit the crime; producing scientific evidence such as DNA that disproves the suspect is guilty; or finding the true perpetrator and producing valid evidence against them.

However, Leo said that some people can be 100 percent innocent and have no way to prove the confession was false.

Interrogators can also choose to use scenarios to

provoke confessions &om suspects, such as prodding them into admitting to the

Hunts Lodge owner Joy to celebrate 100th birthday

BY LYDIA BROWNING The Union Democrat

Betty Joy will celebrate her 100th birthday on Sept. 5, and she gives credit for her long life to her "honorary lifestyle."

Born Carrie Elizabeth Williams in Dallas, Texas, to Brenda and Walter Williams, her mother later started calling her Betty, because she didn't care for the name Carrie.

Betty met the man who would become her husband, Earnie Joy, sometime around 1966. The two married in Virginia City, Nevada, then returned to live in Tuolumne County.

The couple bought the Hunts Lodge in Twain Harte in 1967 &om their close &iend, Dave Hunt, when it was time for him to retire, Betty said.

Sierra Club elects new chairman The Tuolumne Group of the Sierra Club Executive Committee has a new chairman.

Rick Delvin replaces longtime Chairman Jon Sturtevant. Sturtevant will continue with Sierra Club in the position of treasurer.

"It's nice to represent such a diversity of area residents who hike, fish, camp, backpack, and otherwise recreate in this beautiful region," Delvin said. "The Sierra Club got its start here in the Sierra Nevada, and I believe John Muir would be pleased to see how many conservation issues the Sierra Club is taking on these days in an attempt to be a strong voice for nature and our planet. I look forward to working with our local members to make a difference."

The nonprofit group awarded a $1,000 scholarship in 2015.

Hunts Lodge (top), circa 1970, was located at the junction of Hunts Road andTwain Harte Drive. Betty and Earnie Joy (above) cut a rug in a photo take circa 1967.

"We would go over and visit with him often," she said.

Betty acted as the waitress, ran the kitchen and baked "delicious pies," said Gary Walter, a longtime friend.Earnie would run the bar â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is until Earnie would fall asleep on the counter, then she would run that too, Walter added.

Betty met Walter when he was a 21-year-oldcollege student.

One day, Walter said he entered the lodge and realized he didn' t have enough money to pay for the hamburger he had already ordered. Betty let him have the hamburger,and the Joys and Walter were friends from then on. The couple even let Walter stay in an abandoned house they owned and always made sure he had something to eat.

Walter later went on to become a director for Tuolumne Utilities District.

The Joys owned and operated Hunts Lodge, where they also rentedtoboggans to sledders,until selling it in 1976.

"Earnie was a ladies man, but he was always mine!" Betty said with a laugh.

Betty and Earnie had two sons, Gordon and Robert.

Earnie died in his early 60s.

Despite being deaf all her life, Betty manages to stay involved in the community with the help of her supporters, Walter said.

"I get around pretty well on my own with my walker, but these two really do help out a lot," Betty said referring to Shirley Combs, 68, her caregiver of three years, and Walter.

In her free time, Betty enjoyed sewing her own clothes and crocheting afghan blankets, said Combs.

Betty's father died in his 80s, and her mother died even younger.

Both sons also preceded her in death.

Betty is a charter member of the Moose Lodge 1728 in Sonora and has been a member for 39 years.

A birthday celebration for Betty will be held at noon Sept. 5 at the Pine Tree Restaurant, 19601 Hess Ave. in Sonora. Anyone whose life has been personally touched by Betty is encouraged to attend and share See JOY/Page B2

ing effort, but he knew who was going to lead the team behind center long term.

"Sammy was our guy the whole time," said Wildcat head coach Bryan Craig. "I can't say that he would have made a difference in the outcome against Oakdale. But yeah, Billy (Serge) threw the ball really well, but we didn' t run the ball that well. I think Sammy might have made a difference because Billy would've been thefullback.So I kind of think it would've had an effect, but not enough to change the outcome. Billy was our fullback/linebacker and to give him the responsibility to be the quarterback and playing linebacker, it's tough just being a quarterback. There's a lot of responsibility with that position. I think that might have been too much. Running back and linebacker was where he needed to be."

The Wildcats go into tonight's 98th meeting with Oakdale will almost a clean bill of health, only one key player will be on the sideline with an injury, and Page will lead the offensive charge.

'The biggest thing is we came out of the scrimmage healthy and that didn't happen last year," Craig said."And that's a big improvement over

last year. We accomplished what we wanted as far as evaluation and what we wanted to executeandrun.SoIfeel really good about heading into Oakdale. We' re healthy. It will be a greatevaluation to see where we are, because Oakdale is always good, they won the D3 section title lastyear.

But we' re gonna give it a go."

The Wildcats got burned early last year, giving up a pair of touchdown passes in the first quarter — the only two passes Oakdale completed the entire night. The Wildcats then fumbled two plays later and Oakdale led 21-0 with 11:25 left in the first half.

"Look at the defensive coverage mistakes we made last year, we let them get up on us big and we had to climb that hill," Craig said. 'They' re just too good ateam to do that with. You' ve gotta sit there and smack it out with them and stay close with them to have an opportunity to win the game. We gotta try to be down by just 7, or up by 7, in

so our minds were on football all the way until August. So when I walked out onto the field, I felt like I was disappointing and letting people down. That's one of the things I don't like to do. So this year I want to prove myself in some ways against a big time football program. I' ve been thinking about it for months."

What Page saw that night was his replacement Serge Kiriluk pass for more yards than any other quarterback in many years. After falling behind early, Kiriluk led the Wildcats on an exciting comeback that had Oakdale on its heels, but ultimately the rally fell short in a 28-14 loss.

Was he worried his job was in jeopardy afIer Kiriluk's performance?

His performance was so

awesome, but realistically, he was the biggest kid on our team and if I was a coach, I'd rather have him running the ball," Page said. "But I knew I had tostep up my game and play up to his level.

BIUEFS Arbitrator goesagainst Bonds in collusioncase NEW YORK — An arbitrator has ruled Barry Bonds in a collusion case stemming from his final season in the majors.

Major League Baseball was informed this week that arbitrato r FredricHorowitz had ruled in its favor.

Bonds had sought compensation after no teams would take him following his final season with San Francisco. Bonds hit .276 with a .480 on-base average and 28 home runs in 340 atbats for the Giants in 2007.

The career home runs leader with 762, Bonds turned 43 during his last season. He later offered to play for the minimum major leaguesalary butgotno of-

Texas knocks out California in LLWS SOUTH W I LLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Pearland, Texas, hit a pair of homers in the bottom of the eighth inning Thursday night for a 9-7 victory over Bonita, California, and a berth in the U.S. championship game at the Little League World Series.

After B onita p u lled ahead 7-6 in the top of the second extra inning, starting pitcher Ben Gottfried hit a tying solo shot and Caleb Low ended it with a two-run homer.

Pearland will play undefeated Lew i sberry, Pennsylvania — the closest thing to a home team — for the U.S. championship Saturday. The winner will face the International bracket champion on Sunday for the World Series title.

Cal hires Carter as student asst coach BERKELEY — Former California and NFL star Andre Carter has returned to the Golden Bears' football program as a student assistant coach.

Head coach S onny Dykes said Thursday that Carter will assist with the team's defensive line.

Carter enrolled as an undergraduate at Cal earlier this year to pursue his bachelor's degree in American studies.

Carter played 13 years in the NFL after being drafted seventh overall

by San Francisco in 2001.

He also played with Washington, New England and Oakland.

Carter won the Morris Trophy as the top lineman in the Pac-10 in his senior season at Cal in 2000 and is the school's career sacks leader with 31.

TRACK AND FIELD

Americans add 2 golds at worlds from Felix and Taylor BEIJING (AP) — Allyson Felix and Christian Taylor were out of their comfort zones at the world championships.

Felix, because herbestevent is not the 400 meters. And Taylor, because he is still getting used to leaping offhis right foot in the triple jump.

What they showed Thursday is that they' re so good, they win anyway. And the timing couldn't have been better.

Noticeably absent from the m edals party early on at the worlds, the U.S. made a big push thanks to Felix and Taylor capturing gold, while Justin Gatlin finished runner-up to Usain Bolt in the 200.

With that, the US. has 12 medals, induding three golds.

That's more medals than Kenya overall, but still three less golds than the African nation.

At this point at the 2013 worlds, the Americans had 14 m edals and fourgolds.

"A great night," said Felix, who took a break from her signatureevent,the 200,to focus on the 400 and won her ninth world title. "We' ve been strug-

gling a little bit.

"It was a good time to step up to a challenge and see what I could do."

Felix and Taylor came through where some of the other big names in American track had not. Bad luck, injuries and plainold poor performances slowed down Team USA over the first part of this meet.

Olympic champion Jenn Suhr strained her groin before the start of the pole vault and wound uptied for fourth.On Thursday, three-time world champion Brittney Re.se hurt her back before the long jump and couldn't make it out of qualification.

"It's been the hardest world championships," Suhr said.

And then along came Felix.

Wearing white socks stretched nearly to her knees, she got off to a great start in the 400, pulling away in the middle of the one-lap race and then easily beatingShaunae MiHer ofthe Bahamas in 49.26 seconds.

One single dap, that's basically all Felix did to celebrate.

Had the schedule not been

so tight, Felix would have tried for the 200400 double. But with only 65 minutes between the 200 semifinals and the 400 final on Thursday, it wasn't doable.

Maybe at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro — if the program gets altered, that is. As it stands, the tentative schedule isfor thefirstround ofthe 200 to begin on the day of the 400 final. Those races are only 75 minutes apart.

But International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach has said the program isn' t completely set, leaving open the possibility that Felix could attempt the feat.

Wonder if Thursday's performance swayed any opinions?

Felix already is the Olympic champion in the 200.

NCAA Looking to future, more NCAA athletes seek own trademarks B OSTON (AP) — L i k e their counterparts in the pros, m ore col legefootballstarsare starting to snatch up trademark rights to their names, nicknames and fan slogans.

The NCAA generally forbidsits players from cashing in on their athletic success, but by gaining legal ownership ofphrases tied to their personal brands, players can pave the way for lucrative licensing deals in the future and can prevent others &om exploiting their names.

This month, Ohio State University running back Ezekiel Elliott applied for five trademarks, including rights to use his nicknames "Zeke" and "Eze" on merchandise, according to records in a public database kept by the U.S. Patentand Trademark Offi ce.

Elliott also filed for trademarks to use "Hero in a half shirt" and "In crop top we trust" on apparel, and for the restaurant name "Zeke's Crop Top Bar and Grill," a nod to the junior's preference to roll his jersey up like a crop top.

Elliott was unavailable for guard Jeremy Lin has "Lincomment, and his father de- sanity." The company that clined to explain the trade- represents Tim Tebow of the marks.

The judge in that case is now considering whether to grant class-action status to other current and former

athletes who are suing the NCAA and aim to abolish the league's prohibition against competitively paying players.

Many universities, meanwhile, have stopped selling jerseys with the numbers of current players, in part because of legal concerns.

Hilbert predicts that, as universit ies shine the spotlight away &om individual athletes, more players will step in to take ownership of their own brands.

"It's a gradual move toward commercializing the sport," Hilbert said. "As the demarcation between amateurism

and professionalism further erodes, you' re going to see these guys get even more savvy about branding matters."

The Union Democrat has a dedicated team of volunteer weather watchers who keep track of high-low temperatures and precipitation.

They call the newspaper with fresh numbers early every morning for that day's weather page, on the back of the sports section. The only pay is an annual gathering - sometimes a picnic hosted by the newspaper, sometimes dinner at an area restaurant - where they are honored and thanked. Necessary equipment, which the volunteers must provide themselves, are a thermometer that records the high and low temperatures of the day and a rain gauge. They must also submit snow depths and melt snow, when they get it, to include its water content with their precipitation. Volunteers are needed right now in, Tuolumne, Pinecrest and San Andreas.

Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may callPam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h@uniondemocrat.corn

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: Thesale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

Parents' exclusion frustrating for daughter DEAR ANNIE: My parents own a good amount of land in their native country. When I was growing up, they paid for my tuition but were not very supportive emotionally. I sponsored them to come to the U.S., and because they didn't speak English (and still don' t), I helped them Gnd jobs.

The problem is, my parents are giving everything they own and whatever they made during their lifetimes to my brothers as an inheritance. They are leaving nothing to me. I' ve decided to encourage them to move back home and live with their sons. Why should I be handling their bills, buying their groceries, picking up their prescriptions, taking them to the doctorand acting astheirinterpreter?

Risks verses benefits of HPV vaccine for boys DEAR DK ROACH: What are your thoughts on the pros and cons of HPV vaccine for boys? — L.P.B. ANSWER: There are risks and bene6ts to the individual, but also benefits to society.

The HPV vaccine should really be considered an anticancer vaccine, since its goal is to reduce infection from the kinds of human papilloma virus strains that can leadto cancer.Cervicalcanceris the most common HPV-related cancer, but some throat cancers, anat cancers and genitalcancers also are HPV-related.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that there are about 30,000 HPV-related cancers in the U.S. annually. It is possible but unproven that the HPV vaccine will provide protection againstsome orallofthese.

When given to girls or women who have not been infected with HPV, the HPV vaccine is nearly 100 percent effective at preventing persistent infection with the strains of HPV most likely to lead to cancer. In males age 16-26 years, the eKcacyofthe vaccine at preventing

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, ML). high-risk HPV-related warts was about 90 percent. However, the HPV vaccine is relatively new, and it is not clear how long immunity will last. It has been proven to last only eight to nine years, but studies lookingat protection up to 15 years are ongoing. It is possible that additional boosters may be necessary.

All vaccines have some degree of risk.

The most serious risk of HPV vaccine is anaphylaxis, a possibly fatal allergic reaction to the vaccine. There have been 36 casesof anaphylaxis reported in the world literature ant through the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting system, according to the Institute of Medicine's 2012 report on adverse effects of vaccines. There have been 67 million doses given, with a

0.003percentrate ofalladverse events, 90 percent of which were not considered serious. The most common nonserious adverse events in men were redness and soreness at the injection site, dizziness, headache and fainting. Among the adverse events considered serious, the most common were headache, nausea, vomiting and fever.

The societal benefit to vaccinating boys is that they are less likely to spread infection to others. Since essentially all casesofcervicalcancerare HPV-related, males are the most common source of infection (although it can be transmitted female to female).

By vaccinating your boy, you are reducing his risk of developing HPV infection and might be decreasing his risk of several types of HPV-related cancer, at a small risk of an adverse event, which is usually minor. However, probably the most compelling reason is to protect your son's future sexual partners. Put in the starkest terms, you are reducing the risk that your future daughter-in-law will develop cervical cancer.

To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19):Today is a 7 — Don' t take on more than you can do by the deadline. Notice where the cash flows, and reduce costs. Let a family member handle a problem at home. Authority gets questioned. Avoid jealousies. Discretion is advised.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):Today is a 7 — Meetings could interfere with family time. Turn down a possibility to advance, if it means too much time away. Tempers could flare. Postpone an important decision until you' re sure. Share treats and process the situation.

Gemini (May 21 June 20):Today is an 8 — You go further behind closed doors. Don't discuss your private life. Monitor expenses, and keep enough cash on hand. Stay out of someone else's fuss. Bring your social skills and graciousness to the fore.

DEAR DH. ROACH: I have just read your question and answer about the shingles vaccine and have a question. I am an English person living over here, and last time I was back in England and visiting my old doctor, I asked about getting the shingles vaccine there. I was informed that there was no such vaccine in England.

This made me wonder about the legitimacy of the vaccine; if it was that vital to people's health, surely other countries would be offering it as well. Is this just another way for doctors to cash in on health insurance payments? — C.B. ANSWER: The National Health Service in the United Kingdom recommends the same shingles vaccine, Zostavax, that is used in the U.S. and Canada.

Most physicians make very little or no money on vaccination. We recommend them because we care about our patients and want to prevent suQ'ering.

Today in history Today is Friday, August 28, the 240th day of 201 5. There are 125 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight ln History: On August 28, 1955, Emmett Till, a black teen-ager from Chicago, was abducted from his uncle's home in Money, Mississippi, by two white men after he had supposedly whistled at a white woman; he was found brutally slain three days later.

On this date: ln 1922, the first-ever radio commercial aired on station WEAF in New York City; the 10-minute advertisement was for the Queensboro Realty Co., which had paid a fee of $1 00.

In 1944, during World War II, German forces in Toulon and Marseille, France, surrendered to Allied troops. ln 1945, the Allies began occupyingJapan atthe end of World War II. ln 1963, more than 200,000 people listened as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. ln 1964, two days of racerelated rioting erupted in North Philadelphia over a false rumor that white police officers had beaten to death a pregnant black woman.

In 1968, police and anti-war demonstrators clashed in the streets of Chicago as the Democratic National Convention nominated Hubert H. Humphrey for president. ln 1972, Mark Spitz of the United States won the first two of his seven gold medals at the Munich Olympics, finishing first in the 200-meter butterfly and anchoring the 400-meter freestyle relay. The Soviet women gymnastswon the team all-around. ln 1988, 70 people were killed when three Italian stunt planes collided during an air show at the U.S. Air Base in Ramstein (RAHM'-shtyn), West Germany. ln 1990, an F5 tornado struck the Chicago area, killing 29 people.

IIIG desires with honey and a smile. Take things slowly, or risk mistakes. Think before impulsively spending.

Provide comfort and good sense. Enjoy domestic pleasures and simple fare.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):Today is a 7 — Don't rush!

Take your time and get it right. Choose the option that's best for your family. Love, money and beauty tempt you. A separation is permanent, if you say so.

Do more research before venturing forth.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):Today is a 6 — Don't start until you' re sure where you' re going. Energetic friends stir emotions. Tweak your route. Double-check provisions before heading out. Get local supplies. Weed out stuff you don't need. Defer gratification a little longer.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):Today is a 7 — Plan a family event. Consider hidden agendas and scheduling conflicts. Things may not go as planned. Remember someone who needs you. The odds of rnisuderstanding are high, so take extra care articulating communications and listening.

4A7 Willa Cather, an author who achieved recogEast nition for her novels of frontier life and won a < >o 4JS Pulitzer Prize for a story set in World War I, said, "No one can build his security upon the noble- V 9 6 4 3 V852 ness of another person."

I A 108 7 I K94 This week, though, we have seen that at the + Q J y 0 5 4 K9 63 2 bridge table, declarer can sometimes secure South his contract with the noble assistance of an 4 A KQ5 2 opponent.

0 AK7 ln this example, South is in four spades. West I q83 leadsthe club queen. How should South play? +s4 Some players with the North hand would respond four spades, bidding to the 10-trick level Dealer: South with a 10-card fit. But that does not necessarily Vulnerable: North-South aPPly in an uncontested auction. Here, with a S Outh W e S t N o h h Ea S t balanced hand, North should rein in a notch or y$ p Pass 2 Pass two. Advocates of the Losing Trick Count would respond with a game-invitational three spades, but it is a close decision. When North settles for Opening lead: 4 Q two spades, South shoots for game. Opposite three spades, South might dabble his toe in the slam water with a four-heart control-bid (cuebid), which, here, North would reject.

South has one club loser, so must restrict his diamond losers to two.

Declarer should win the first trick with dummy's club ace, draw trumps, cash his heart winners, and cast adrift with a club. Whoever wins this trick must either open up diamonds or concede a ruff-and-sluff. In each case, South loses only two diamond tricks and makes his contract.

Finally, if South must play on diamonds himself, he should start with dummy's jack, hoping that East fails to cover an honor with an honor (or has the ace and king).

"Come feeding time is the most dangerous time to be around a snake," said How-

The reticulated python, named for the geometric patterns on its skin, is one of the largestsnake species in the world. It can reach almost 30 feet long and weigh 350

Howard said many species of exotic snakes can be bought inexpensively when they are small. People frequently call him when they can no longer take care of them.
